Augustdorf is a municipality in the Lippe district of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

In 1775 Simon August, Count of Lippe-Detmold issued a writ of lease (Meierbrief) for the area of today's Augustdorf in favour of August Simon Struß, permitting him to establish a settlement (colony) at Dören hill.

In 1780 the settlement at Dören consisted of only four tiny thatched huts.

In 1789 the settlement was named in honour of Count Simon August.
